Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us compute the total income of Mr. Desai for Assessment Year 2024-25:
1. **Income from Business or Profession:**
- Mr. Desai is an Indian resident (assumed resident and ordinarily resident - ROR), hence his global income is taxable in India.
- Profit from Dubai business (controlled from Dubai) = u20b913,10,000\displaystyle \\u20b913,10,000.
- Loss from Delhi business = u20b94,50,000\displaystyle -\\u20b94,50,000.
- Net business income = u20b913,10,000u20b94,50,000=u20b98,60,000\displaystyle \\u20b913,10,000 - \\u20b94,50,000 = \\u20b98,60,000.
2. **Income from Winnings of Online Games:**
- Winnings from online games are taxable under Section 115BBJ / Section 56(2)(ib).
- Winnings in kind (6 shirts) are valued at their Fair Market Value (selling price) of u20b910,000\displaystyle \\u20b910,000 per piece (excluding GST).
- Value of online game winnings = 6timesu20b910,000=u20b960,000\displaystyle 6 \\times \\u20b910,000 = \\u20b960,000.
3. **Capital Gains on Gifted Shares:**
- The gift of listed equity shares to his son's daughter, Ms. Shanaya, is not treated as a transfer under Section 47(iii). Hence, no capital gains arise to Mr. Desai.
- The subsequent sale of these shares by Ms. Shanaya for u20b950,000\displaystyle \\u20b950,000 generates a long-term capital loss. Since she is his son's daughter (granddaughter), any income/loss from the asset would be clubbed in the hands of her parents under Section 64(1A) (as she is a minor), not grandfather Mr. Desai. Thus, this does not affect Mr. Desai's total income.
4. **Interest on Electric Vehicle Loan:**
- Interest paid on EV loan = u20b95,00,000\displaystyle \\u20b95,00,000.
- While Section 80EEB provides a deduction of up to u20b91,50,000\displaystyle \\u20b91,50,000, Mr. Desai has opted to pay tax under the default tax regime (Section 115BAC), which disallows deductions under Chapter VI-A (except Section 80CCD(2) and 80CCH(2)). Thus, no deduction under Section 80EEB is allowed.
5. **Total Income:**
- Total Income = Net Business Income (u20b98,60,000\displaystyle \\u20b98,60,000) + Winnings from Online Games (u20b960,000\displaystyle \\u20b960,000) = u20b99,20,000\displaystyle \\u20b99,20,000.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
